GTZ has become a marketplace where the most commonly traded commodity is . I want to start an effort to get some trades going and to discuss some good games perhaps you never heard of or interested in but want to discover/know more of. For example, I just got intto shmups after years of ignoring the genre and I love to discover new(to me) and rediscover old ones(Sonic Wings comes to mind).

No pressure here. Feel free to discuss anything retro. Perhaps throw out some WTTF targets and what you have to offer. I am sick of browsing people's year old Available lists.

Some examples:

- WTTF/WTB/LF- What you think is awesome game/series/whatever- Potential games you have up for trade- Pics of what you have/what you would love to get/what you think is the bestest awesomest game ever- Show off your latest finds/adds to your collection

My grandma is selling her ancient garage-sized house in Queens for more than that, what a crazy place to live. I'm not a huge fan of the south but it's cheeeap to live here. Is there some place where people walk/talk fast enough, but is also really cheap to live?

Like I said I have no idea about Queens anymore but there seems to be more homes In the 200k and under rande out in Middle Suffolk County. Towns like Coram, Middle Island, Bellport, Mastic, Shirley stick out. Not the greatest but they're improving for sure. Patchougue is constantly listed as an "up and coming " neighborhood but the prices are slowly rising in response.

I have updated OP so far with @Antipop, @DefaultGen and @sharif's game rooms. I think there are some other pics peppered throughout the thread so I won't be looking for them but if you want to share(and I think you should! untidy or tidy doesn't matter!), send me a PM to put your pics in the OP.

If you're like me, I just love to see what other people have and how they set it up.

It may not be much compared to everyone else's rooms up there, but I am pretty damn proud of this setup. Took systems pic a few weeks ago after refurbishing the stereo equalizer under the TV and moving the 3DO and PCE to fit everything. Only other change of note since I posted this last year is that the Wii U is gone, the PS4 replaced it, and we added a Vita and Vita TV.. we got s little Sony Fever late into 2016... The open cube space along the bottom now has a basket to hide the power strip/extension cables in that spot, now, too. Thank goodness my wife is in on all of this and helps keep it in check. This is our living room in a 1 bedroom apartment, so it needs to be presentable and a little less blatant that it's a game room. Someday we'll have a separate space for this so we can go nuts, but for now, it's a bit reserved.

Our downsizing shows with the shelving, but honestly, I'm pretty pleased with it and the imports look nice. Loose hucards are in the old Pokemon deck box.

Still cool! my wife (and me to a somewhat lesser extent) has an on/off fascination with CED and LD. Because of space, we have our players stored away for now, but have a modest little collection of laserdiscs and CED discs, too. They still look pretty good, though. Well, not the CED ones, lol.

Just making sure everyone knows, a physical copy of Wild Guns: Reloaded on the PS4 is available right now on Play-Asia and Groupon. I ordered mine today, but who knows how long they'll last. Click here for the Play-Asia link. The box art is worth it alone, in my opinion:

The first time the original Darius is released on disc for a home game console, realized thanks to the help of Hamster, who manage the Arcade Archives game download service. This is the Arcade Archives version of Darius with the cabinet instructions panel display added to create a more arcade-like atmosphere.

Interview Booklet and Super Play Blu-ray Disc

The interview booklet contains 32 pages of interviews with Darius series staff. The Blu-ray disc contains super play videos of the PlayStation 4 version of Darius, as well as the arcade versions of Darius Gaiden and G Darius.
